Cape May County residents can get paid on-the-job-training

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – The Cape May County Division of Workforce Development On-the-Job (OJT) training program provides county residents the opportunity to be paid while learning a new trade or skill that leads to full-time employment.

Eligible residents must be: 18 years of age or older, unemployed, laid-off, or under employed.

The OJT program matches your goals and interests with a business or company that will hire you full time during the training period with the goal that if successful the employer will hire you as a full-time employee. The training period is determined by the scope of training and knowledge required to successfully perform the job requirements.

The OJT program provides career opportunities that would not be available without the training provided by the employer that leads to full-time employment.
